SASH-FASTENER.

4 SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,255, datedJanuary 18. 1887,

Application filed May 6, 1586. Serial No. 201,358. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN B. IVIARSHALL, of Little Rock, in the county ofPulaski and State of Arkansas, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Sash Fasteners, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, and in which--- Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a windowframe and sashes with my improvement applied. Fig.2 is an enlarged perspective View of one of the fasteners removed. Fig.3 is an enlarged detail view showing part of one of the sashes and partof the frame with the fastener applied. Figs. 4 and 5 are detailsections taken on line 4 5, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 showing the fastener closedand Fig. 5 showing it open. Figs. 6 and 7 show the same parts as shownin Figs. 4 and 5, respectively, and showing the parts in the sameposition, the only difference being that the fastening in Figs. 6 and 7is secured to a sash instead of the frame, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

My invention relates to an improved fastening for window-sashes and thelike, and my invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fullydescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

0 Referring to the drawings, Arepresents the upper and B the lower sashof a window, and 0 represents the frame. Secured to either of thesesashes, or to the frame, or both, if desired, are pins or stops D,preferably provided with heads, as shown in the upper part of Fig. 1 andin Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7. As stated, these pins may be either secured tothe sashes or to the frame. In Fig. 1 I have shown them secured to thelower sash, and in this case the 0 fastening E would be secured to theframe. In the upper part of this figure I have shown the pin secured tothe frame, and then the fastening E would be secured to the sash. Itwill thus be'seen that either one of these parts (the 5 stops or thefastenings) may be secured to either the frame or the sashes,respectively, as desired.

The fastening consists of a plate or block provided with projections H,between which is a slot or opening, I; and the adjacent ends of theprojections may be recessed, as shown at J, to recei e the heads of thestops, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, so that there is no danger of thefastening being accidentally disengaged from the stops. There being anumber of 5 stops, the sashes may be fastened at any desired elevation,or may be fastened in their closed positions, as shown in Fig. 1. Itwill be understood that when the fastening is closed the sash will beheld from moving in either direction-up or down.

If desired, the outer ends of the projections H may be provided withrecesses L, to receive the stops, so that one stop may fit in the recessin the upper end of one projection and the next stop beneath fit in therecessin the lower end of the other projection, as shown by dotted linesin Fig. 1. The sash will also be held from moving in either direction,and this provides for a smaller adjustment of the sashes. c

The plates or blocks are pivoted to the sash or frame, as the case maybe, so that they can swing outward to free them from the stops, as shownin Figs. 5 and 7.

I do not wish to confine myself to the exact form of projections I haveshown, or to the exact form of recesses on the projections, as the samemay be changed without departing from theessential feature of myinvention.

I claim as my invention- The combination, with the frame and the sash,of a pivoted fastening having lugs projecling therefrom in a directionat right angles to its plane of motion, and studs or stops projectingin'a direction at right angles to said lugs and engaging therewith,substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
